Determined to Become Rebels ana
Preach Downright Revolution.


CHICAGO, March IA large meet
ing of Socialists was held at Turner
Hall this afternoon to discuss the mat
ter pending in the legislature, known
as Merritts bill to punish the authors
of inflamatory aud incendiary speeches
or writings. After an address by n
newspaper man named Buchanan, de-
nouncing the capitalists, resolutions
were adopted protesting against the
bill. Then some very radical speeches
were delivered in English, German
and Bohemian. Editor Curtin, of the
Arbeiter Reitung, advised his hearers
to procure arms aud carry them.
Holmes, in English, declared the soci-
alists had right to preach treason and
the overthrow of society and consti-
tuted authorities. Sooner than see
the bill pass, he would take arms and
preach revolution. lie was against
the bill as an American citizen, as q
Socialist and as an Anarchist. If nee
essary they should become determined
rebels and preach downright revolu-
ton. Curtin and Holmes were wildly
cheercd by the crowd, which included
a number of women.

A. ~ NJ. COLLEGE.

Hon. w. II. Cayitt, president ofthe Board
of Directors OF the A. d NJ. College, thinks
the College will get all it asks from the
present Legislature. Hope so.-Brazos
Pilot.
The HERALD hopes so, too. The
refusal of the regents of the uni
versity to recognize the just claims
of the A. e. NJ. College, and of the
medical branch at Galveston, has
excited new interest in friends Of
these institutions that we are
pleased to witness. The A. q NJ,
College is the most important
branch of the university, at which
young men may receive just what
is most needed in a practical age
and country like ours--industrial
education. Very few young Tex
ans have time or means to devote
70 defunct languages and lore from
which no practical benefit can ever
be derived. Where they have OPP
portunity, let them attend the
University. We are not opposed
to. but favor, the most liberal ed
ucation. But we always stop at
facts. The A. & NJ. College is the
school of the farmer and the me-
chanic, and these outnumber all
other classes in Texas. The in
struction received there is of a
most practical and useful kind.
1t is an excellent school. 1t
should have a liberal share of the
University fund and the hearty
encouragement and patronage of
all the people. If the regents are
determined to injure the Austin
portion of the University, let them
persist in their selfishness. That
is the way to do it. Their wild
opposition will not hurt the A. d
NJ. College in the least.

A BILL which passed to third
reading in the senate Saturday,
requires that any corporation
which fails to pay its employees
promptly shall add to the wages
due a penalty of twenty per cent;
This effects any business owned
and run by an Incorporated com;
pany. SO that if any incorporated
railway, newspaper or mill compa-
ny fail to pay up promptly Satur-
day night, or when due, will pay
the penalty of twenty per cent.

also to persons" but was cor

The HERALD hopes no class is
sues will be made in the coming
city election, and consequently
doesn't fall ia with the cry of the
few for a "business" man for may
or. Major John Henry Brown has
made an efficient mayor, and IS
not by any means unacquainted
with business life, while Mr.. Ed.
C. Smith is a practical business
man and has been a very success
full one. Both are men of we'll
known integrity. Then what does
the business man move mean?
If a better and more capable man
than either of those announced is
offered or can be induced to make
the race, there can be no reasona-
BILE objection; but make the mans
experience and capability the is
sue, and not his calling or position.
Glass issues and class legislation
are to be deprecated at any time.
If the HERALD mistakes not, the
prime mover in this business man
move was the loudest in denounc-
ing what it considered class poll
tics last summer. Consistency is
another verp good thing to mix
with politics.

as OUR CRIMINAL LAW A FAILURE?'

as OUR CRIMINAL LAW FAILURE?'
This question was made the subject
of very noticeable address by ex Con
gresham John NJ. Broomall, of Media,
before the Pennsylvania Prison Society
on Wednesday. He said:
"The idea that the criminal law has
proved failure is not recent one. 1t
is the result of the study of half cen
tury and is deliberately formed. There
IS something terribly wrong at the root
OF the whole criminal system. Its treat
ment of the criminal is rather in the ma
ture of paying up old scores-doing
wrong to man because he has done
wrong. This is fault of Chri.tendom
and not of Pennsylvania alone. Even
history speaks of the vindlctiveness and
avenging spirit of the law. Every man
is what he is by reason of his antece-
dents and early surroundings, modified
to a Slight extent by his individual will.
If criminal is insane we don't punish
him, because he could not control his
actions. What control have | over my
actions that rise from my ancestor or
vicious surroundings more than luna
tic has? What justice is there in TAX
ING vengeance on man who commits
CRIME under such circumstances Our
criminal courts as constituted are SIM
ply schools of crime, and if there were
nothing better than they are at present,
it would be better to abolish them but
there is a better system" He advo-
Gated reformatories, such as that at FL
mira, n. Y, and the institution being
established at Huntingdon, Pa.
"The question for jury in crlml-
nal case should be, Is it safe to allow
this man at large? If the man is COM
mitted to reformatory he should be
retained there until the authorities be-
neved it safe 10 let HIM go. If certain
criminals proved themselves incorriglble
there should be authority to detain them
for life, and thus prevent them from
becoming the ancestors of generation
of criminals. Let US try with the Grim
inal class what has been tried success
FULLY with everybody else-tha. Is

EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF ON THE
FARMERS.


FARMERS.
Of course, it is not necessary to 60
to Massachusetts for anything new
upon this subject. The effect which
the home market has upon products OF
the soil wherever manufactures have
been encouraged IN that state is well
known to all, and the wealth which has
grown up in the state enables its capt.
talists now to extend a fostering hand
to almost every state in the Union, and
even our own is just now about reCeiv-
ing from Boston men hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the purchase of
land and the establishment of new OBJ
jects OF manufacture. A correspondent
of the AezS ENGLAND Farmer, having
had his attention called to this subject,
says:
81 have read with much interest the
ideas of your correspondents upon the
subjects of protection and competition
with the West 1t does not seem DOS
sible for any one, who owns and works
a farm in the Eastern States, and raises
anything to sell, not to see the great
benefits of home market, and that
market IS made by our manufacturers,
built up by protection on both sides
evidently agree. Demolish one, demol
ish all. No matter how hard the times
are, there is no lack of money IN this
great country of factories such as exist
in those states exclusively given to ag-
riculture and principally to raising of
cereals. The aggregate of wages paid
out weekly by our manufacturing in
dustries is enormous. 1t enables the
farmer to deal directly with the consul
mer, much to the benefit of both Ac-
cording to statistics, reduce tariff, you
reduce the cost of goods, but at the ex-
pense of labor, as wages suffer more in
this fight ; consequently, labor spends
less, and the farmer not only sells less,
but for less price. What affects the
whole country affects each individual
composing that country either directly
or indirectly. Why can't people see

DEMOCRACY DEFINED.

The Kentucky State Democratic
Convention assembled this week ard
nominated Gen. Buckner for governor.
The resolutions endorse President
Cleveland's Administration. They were
prepared by Speaker Carlisle, but evi-
dently did not take with the average
Kentucky Bourbon as was evidenced
by Mr.. Henry Waterson S speech. The
latter was received with great enthu-
siasm. Tie following are among the
salient points of his speech which were
especially applauded by the crowd of
Democratic Iistners
The only distinct line of Democratic
policy which at this time awakens the
enthusiasm of friends and eXcites the
Remuneration of toes, is everywhere de-
scribed 'the Kentucky idea" Cheers.
"And what Is the Kentucky idea? Ii
is as far as | am able to interpret. and
If there be anything | do understand,
as the old woman said of her blum, it
is the Democracy of Kentucky. Great
laughter. 1t is a sturdy clinglng to
the idea that government belongs to
the many, and is not the exclusive
property of the few, applause, and an
obstinate instance that this, idea shall
be carried into every administrative and
legislative affair, and carried alike to

OF all the monstrous conclusions we
have yet seen drawn from prohibition
premises, Governor Ross of Texas has
arrived at the worst. He says he will
vote against the proposed prohibition
amendment, as opposed to the spirit of
free institutions. He considers the
present laws adequate to protect pub
lie liberty and private rights. He con-
trasts Texas morally and materially with
Maine, where prohibition has long OBJ
tanned. Texas has more churches,
spenus more money on education, mas
more wealth according to population,
has Few divorces, fever labor strikes,
and fewer paupers than Maine. And
all these blessings in Texas, all this
superior condition of affairs is to be
attributed to the unrestricted sale of
rum in that state. Monstrous perver
sion of facts We don't believe he can
get an intelligent man or woman out
side of the state of Texas to accept as
true any such conclusion.

THE LATE SPRING.

Like distinguished guest, that long
Has tried the patience of Il rhrong
For festive joys united;
The spring has reached our homes at lrst
In spite of disa ppointments past
The people are delighted.
BY all her charms beguiled, we say:
"Hai. sunny spring, by your delay
We feared you Were not coming,
Good bye to all the snow and Sleet,
The buds and blossoms round your feet
Have set the bees to humming.'
By all the recent blasts that blew
The snowy shafts that tiercely flew
From winters hoary legionS.
We wonder that you We're 50 bold
In your thin robes, to chase the cold
Back to the Arctic regions.
Now let your merry sports begin,
Slug, rain-trogs, with your voices thin
Chirp robins, wrens and crickets;
And wake ye, every little bird
That has been waiting to be heard,
Long shivering In the th;ckets.
And let the thunder (nOt too loud)
Peal through the low-hung, evening cloud
From sh tets electric glowirg;-
While rain drops warm fall to the roots
OF the unnumbered spears and shoots
Ger hills and meadows growing.
Ee farmers, plow in haste the soil;
Ye tradesmen push your useful toll
Through sunny days and clouied,
Time flies apace between the snow
Or winter and The summers glow,
Poor spring is sadly crowded.

WHILE Henry Waterson is sounding
the Democratic keynote in favor OF
Kentucky Bourbon, the general drift
of Republican sentiment is toward,
partial or absolute prohibiuon of the
liquor traffic. The issue is at this time
live one in the Pennsylvania 'Legisla-
ture. We are glad to see that the Re-
publican party is taking advanced
ground on the subject. In that state,
says the Philadelphia DAILY McorS, the
Republican party as party, Republi-
cans as individuals are in favor of high
license. The law is imperatlvely de-
manded by the people. Many Demo
Gratis, as we'll as Republicans, favor it,
and if the question were left to a popu-
lar vote there would be very little doubt
of its passage. There should be no
doubt now. Republican legislators
who vote against high license should
be repudiated by their constituents.

Ex-senator Dorsey Names Il Ticket-Why
He Thinks Cleveland Cannot Win.
New York, May 2-Ex Senator Ste
phen W. Dorsey, of New Mexico. was
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel today, having
arrived only few hours before from a
four months trip to Europe. Senator
Dorsey spoke freely on the presidential
possibilities. He believes that President
Cleveland will be the next candidate on
the Democratic ticket. AS president he
wields great power to continue himself
in office, and he will use every influence
to secure his own denomination. He be,
lieved that Hill was the only obstacle.
And who Will be the Republican nom
iEee?" Mr.. Blaine will be nominated
by acclamation, l have no possible doubt
and do not think any other candidate
will be mentioned III consequence. Sher-
man, E lmunds, Gresham, and the others
who have been suggested are too wise to
allow their names to 90 before conven
tion when there is 10 conceivable hope
of success. Mr.. Blaine's popularity is
about the same in every part ot the coun
or section. lie is incumparably the strong
est maa before the people in the R.pub-
lican party. With ticket such as Blaine
OF Maine, and Fairchild, of Wisconsin, as
against Cleveland and whoever may be
associated with him, the Republicans are
almost certain to Carry the country. The
Repu blican party has majority in the
Northern States. where their votes are
counted, aud a majority i'll many of the
Southern States, where their votes are
not counted. Mr. Cleveland has not and
cannot secure the confidence of the rank
and file OF his own party. | mean the
people living i'll the villages and hamlets,
and all those i'll the country; men who
have been fighting for the Democratic
party for the last quarter of a century
without success, and who now iind, after
having elected the President, that they
have been working all these years to
keep Republicans in office. All that
country Democrat knows about national
Democratic success is symbolized in the
town postmaster He sees Republican
postmaster in his village. and a Demo
crat president at Washington. 1t is i'm
possible for HIM to harmonic these two
facts. 1t is all "a mistake to say the lead
ers are opposed to the President. The
men who oppose him, and will make the
opposition felt on election day, are the
common people of his own party in the
country districts of this and other states.
They are Democrats from principle, and
uoc for revenue. The only accident that
can defeat the Repu blican party is the
misfortune of miSmanagement;t that, am
sule, will not occur again"

CARLISLE INTERVIEWED
What He Says ABOUT the Tariff and PresI-

dent Cleveland.
Louisville, kv., May 4-IIon. John g.
Carlisle arrived here yesterday, to attend
the state Democratic convention. In a
lengthy interview, published by the ro"r
Ter JoHrnul this morning, MIR. Carlisle
SAYS that the next house will unquesti"n-
ably pass the bill to reduce custom duties.
IL Will not be such IA bill as revenue re-
form Democrats would like to have, but
there will be "A substantial reduction.
'lhe bill reducing tariff, he said, must be
passed, however with the help OF Repuh-
ucau votes The detection from the Dem
ocratic ranks OF Randall and other pro
tectionisJs makes it impossible tor Dem
ocrats To pass the Tariff Revision bill,
unless aided by revenue retormers from
the Republican ranks and these recruits,
he believes, it will not be difficult to OBJ
tain. Mr.. Carlisle thinks there should be
no repeal OF international taxes yet III or
der to get through IA bill reducing the
tariff Some comproml lseS might be made
which would result i'll the repeal OF the
tobacco tax.
When asked bis opinion of Mr.. Cleve
| lands administration, Mr.. Carlisle SAID
President Cleveland has given the coun-
try a safe, strong. clean and healthy ad
| mlnistration He bas acted as he honestly
believed, Tor the best interests of the
country and his party, and he is very
strong with the people. With Clevelanu
as il candidate tor TO election New Eng
land would be doubtful. A large number
of business men i'll the Republican party in

wumps, as We call them, sald MIR. Carl

"Member of Congress, Senator and

it is contended, may be either a Sena-

designation of all members of the lower
